In my lifetime I have witnessed glaciers receding not only in California, Europe as well in the Himalayas. The impact of global warming is real.
I encourage you to watch Berkeley Lab’s Bill Collins, link below, an internationally recognized expert in climate modeling and climate change science, discuss what we know about climate change, how we know it, and what we can do about it.

You are all very funny and probably have not watched the video. I am not new to ST, been on it since 2009, just do not post often.
What is discussed in the video is based on scientific research. It is a very complex scientific, social, economic, political problem as many of you might be aware of. There are many components to global warming including natural ones. With the ability of leveraging the computing power we have today we can build models and get a better understanding. This enable us to better predictions and figure out ways to mitigate some of the impact.
It is never too late to do something about it. I really encourage you to watch the video.

The short but sad conclusion is that people know but are essentially unwilling to make any great changes to their lifestyle to have much of an impact. Sure, a few folks here and there are, but as a population, no.

Yes. Exactly how much, now there is the question. Conservatively, I'd say more than 70% though. And the previous post by Fad Dad is dead on.
